The First steps are the toughest

 

Sometimes, I'm just at a loss for words. (OK, it doesn't happen all that often).

But the recent fiasco regarding the arbitrated police contract was such a time...because at every point, our elected officials failed us.

• WHY was this proposed agreement kept from the Council until the last minute?  Was there something to hide?

• WHY wasn't either Our Proven Financial Leader or his assigned lap-attack dog, Der Barren, able to provide any proofs of their arguments?  Did they WANT this agreement to fail?

•  DID THE COUNCIL DO THE MAYOR'S DIRTY WORK?

There's something else going on here...I can't see who dealt it, but I know I smell it.
